Fashion | 5 Gorgeous Espadrilles for Summer

Wednesday, 25 May 2016

Espadrilles are everywhere in the shops at the moment. They are so much better than they used to be as most now come with a proper sole to protect the traditional rope, that is often used to make them. When I was little, I remember buying a pair from Spain and when I stood in a puddle or wore them round the pool, they started to come apart. They have come a long way since then.

I have to admit that I like a bit of sparkle and when combined with tanned feet, these could look great.

There are heeled wedges as well as platforms, but for a mum on the run, like me, I prefer to wear the flat ones.

Once known as the shoes of peasants, espadrilles have really made it in the world of fashion - Chanel made a pair that were selling for £700.00. You'll be glad to know that, as ever, my choices are more purse friendly, starting as little as £10.00.

I would probably wear these with skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans, rolled up for a casual day look throughout the summer months.
